you drew memories in my mind I could never erase
painted colors in my heart I could never replace
Normally Amalia might have sulked and stewed in her insecurities, but whether because of the substances or her trust in her friend the girl relents quickly, looking up at Adam's giggle with a smile of her own. "Yeah. I was trying to help." Though when he mentions shutting down the Rathskeller she almost makes a vow then and there to do that.
But that's a bandaid, not a cure.
If Adam thinks that he can get her to lay off that easily, though, after forgiving her nosiness, he's made a great mistake. Reaching out to lightly punch his shoulder, the baker shakes her head emphatically (a mildly nauseating act). "It's not... it's not a have to. I want to. If you need help I'm always here, dumbass. That's what friends are for."
Picking up the horn from where he's set it, Amalia turns it thoughtfully between her finger. "Y'know... I bet you could ask the gods to put something else in it. Like something that stops the craving for alcohol, but doesn't actually like, do alcohol things. Drun...ken..ing. You know." And then she, stops, realizing what she's doing, a chagrined expression passing over her face. "If... if you wanted. I'm not trying to tell you what to do."
